Understanding Filipino Culture: A Practical Guide For Therapists
Welcome to our online event where we delve into the intricate tapestry of Filipino culture! As therapists, gaining insights into the cultural nuances of our Filipino clients is crucial for providing effective care. This two hour workshop explores the unique cultural and psychological principles that shape Filipino experiences and worldviews, with a critical lens on colonization and its lasting effects. Designed for counselors and mental health professionals, this session covers essential concepts such as Kapwa (shared identity), Pakiramdam (shared inner perception), and Utang na Loob (debt of gratitude), while also examining how colonial history has influenced Filipino cultural norms, intergenerational trauma, and internalized oppression.
Through interactive discussions, participants will learn how to decolonize their approach when working with Filipino clients by recognizing colonial narratives, reclaiming indigenous values, and integrating culturally attuned healing practices. By the end of this workshop, attendees will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to foster deeper, more empathetic connections with Filipino clients, supporting them in reconnecting with their cultural strengths and resilience.
Join us for an enlightening and transformative journey into Filipino Psychology, and enhance your counseling skills with a decolonized, culturally responsive approach.
This practical guide aims to equip therapists with the tools needed to navigate cultural differences sensitively and promote effective therapy. Don't miss this unique opportunity to broaden your cultural competence!
